Tiny Troy: Why The NFL's Troy Polamalu Is Head & Shoulders' Best Spokesperson

Football fans who have been paying attention to the ads between downs will know the spokesperson for the Head & Shoulders commercials, but those whose knowledge of the NFL is slightly lacking (or begins post-2014) may be wondering, "Who is Tiny Troy?" The anti-dandruff and non-dandruff shampoo Head & Shoulders (H&S), owned by the multinational company Procter & Gamble, is synonymous with the solution to the skin condition that causes dry scalps to flake. Troy Polamalu is a former American football safety who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL for 12 years. In that time, he earned an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, won two Super Bowls, went to eight Pro Bowls, entered the Steelers Hall of Honor, was part of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, and was the cover athlete for one of the best Madden video games, Madden NFL 10.
